MorphoTrust Brings New Conveniences to Transportation Workers for HAZMAT Endorsement Threat Assessment Program

BILLERICA, Mass. --(Business Wire)--

MorphoTrust
USA (Safran), a leading U.S. provider of identity solutions and
services, today announced that it completed transition of the
Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) Hazardous Materials
Endorsement (HME) Threat Assessment Program (HTAP) to the new Universal
Enrollment Services (UES) platform. TSA's HTAP conducts a security
threat assessment for individuals seeking to obtain, renew, or transfer
an HME on a commercial driver license. IdentoGO®
Centers by MorphoTrust provide the enrollment services for HTAP and
other security threat assessment programs covered under UES, including
TSA Pre?™ and the Transportation Workers Identification Credential
(TWIC) program.

HME applicants are advised to pre-enroll and schedule their enrollment
appointments at any one of the 270 convenient nationwide IdentoGO
Centers, which is 80 percent more than the approximately 150 legacy
HazPrint centers. During the enrollment process, applicants are required
to provide identity and immigration documents and have their
fingerprints taken. Maritime transportation workers will also now have
the ability to apply at all of these IdentoGO Centers, providing access
to TWIC enrollment in some states for the first time.

"MorphoTrust has been working aggressively to support the transition of
these programs into UES and we anticipate that the completion of the
HTAP transition will improve the enrollment process across TSA programs
as well as enhance customer convenience with the added centers," said
MorphoTrust CEO Bob Eckel. "It will benefit many transportation workers,
particularly those who work in maritime areas and require both a TWIC
card and an HME endorsement on their commercial driver license. With
over 1.7M HME enrollments to date, we look forward to supporting the
growth of this program."

MorphoTrust has provided HME enrollment services since 2005 and was
awarded the HazPrint prime contract for HME enrollment services in 2009.
TSA selected MorphoTrust as prime contractor for UES in 2012. The
transition of HTAP enrollment centers to UES started in October 2013.
